How to Perform an InsertOne Operation to a MongoDB Database Using Go

If you've been trying to insert a document into a MongoDB database using Go and are encountering difficulties, you're not alone! Many developers face challenges when interacting with databases, especially when it comes to inserting struct data. In this post, we will explore the common issue and provide a step-by-step solution to help you successfully insert data using the mongo-driver package.

The Problem: Unable to Insert Struct Data

In our example, a developer encountered a problem when trying to insert struct data in their RegisterNFInstance function. The code was designed to connect to a MongoDB database, define a struct, and insert an instance of that struct. However, the insert operation was not working as expected.

Sample Code Snippet

To illustrate the issue, here's a shortened version of the developer's code.

The Solution: Fixing the Connection Lifecycle

Identifying the Issue

Upon closer inspection, the problem stemmed from the Connect function. Within this function, there was a deferred call responsible for disconnecting the client right after the connection is established. Here's the problematic code:

Removing the Disconnect

To resolve the issue, it's essential to remove this deferred disconnect call. By doing so, the connection will remain open long enough for subsequent database operations, such as the insert operation, to be executed.

Updated Connect Function

Here's how the updated Connect function should look:

Conclusion

By simply removing the disconnect code from the Connect function, you can maintain the connection needed for your InsertOne operations. This minor adjustment can lead to successful document insertion into your MongoDB database.

Final Tips

To ensure your database operations run smoothly, here are a few best practices:

Connection Management: Always ensure your database connection is established before performing operations.

Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to capture and respond to issues that may arise during data transactions.

Data Structure: Ensure that your struct field tags (json and bson) are properly defined for serialization.

Now, with this knowledge, you're geared up to handle data insertion in MongoDB with confidence. Happy coding!
